What a week in AI!

• Microsoft releases its biggest invasion of your privacy in decades!
• Sam Altman violates Scarlett Johansson to get her likeness for his digital parrot!
• Google UX legend Scott Jenson declares idea bankruptcy at Google and panic driven AI development because they want to lock you in faster than their competitors!

This shit is going great!

Well well well

"A handful of powerful businessmen pushed New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on pro-Palestinian student protesters at #Columbia University, donating to the politician and offering to pay for private investigators to help break up the demonstrations, based on leaked WhatsApp conversations"

So I mentioned last night that my open-source work on the fediverse (mastodon, pixelfed, etc) was funded for 10-13 hours per month, in my head I had a figure of €1000/month that I was using as the donation income I receive.

I just checked and it's actually closer to €700/month.

Your support for my work is greatly appreciated & helps enable work that quietly affects about a million people.

Wondering if wealth inequality is out of control?

Well, Jeff Bezos made over $7.9 million an hour last year.

In just 13 minutes, he made the equivalent of what a typical person earns in a lifetime.

Don't tell me that the rich can't afford a wealth tax.

If you were to write flash cards for #JavaScript (as standardized via ECMAScript)—what would you put on them?

Ideas:
– Standard library API—e.g.: What does Array.prototype.splice() do?
– Functionality: How to destructively add a value at the end of an Array?

Does anyone have a project, non-profit, whatever that is in some way helping Palestine right now? Because I’d like to be a part of it. Just point the way if you need an experienced developer. #freepalestine #palestine #developer #jobsearch #fedihired

A few years back, @hilljam and I hired a young filmmaker to make a short #film for our song "Shade" (Revolutionary Acts of Optimism, 2019).

He created a beautiful film. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odBenUtytoo

And NOW — cool news — that short film has been selected as part of The Colossal Cinematic Showcase short film festival in #BOISE!

The red carpet showcase is next weekend, May 19, and we have TWO PAIRS of FREE PASSES to give away to the first people to claim em. DM me if you'd like to go!

#Israel outlawed #AlJazeera before invading #Rafah for a reason. It's the only source of trusted journalism left.

Things getting really bad there right now. I suggest their live blog to bear witness to the #Genocide. It's being called #NightOfFire

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/5/10/israels-war-on-gaza-live-aid-operation-completely-crippled-amid-attacks

IDF are conducting operations in several areas of Rafah city, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic, while reports are emerging of heavy clashes between Palestinian armed groups and Israel’s military in the east of the city.

Video showed a Palestinian family cowering in a residence as the sounds of heavy machine-gun fire & explosions could be heard nearby in what is being described as a “night of fire”

Anyone who cares about free speech & expression should be feeling cold blood in their veins as USG rushes to silence, censor, & brutalize those critical of Israel's extremist gov.

Bills like this are political weapons. Once forged, they will be wielded for much, much more.

schizanon, 22 days ago to passkeys

PassKeys seem like a bad idea. Google backs them up to the cloud, so if your Google account is compromised then all your private keys are compromised. I don't see how that's an improvement over password+2FA at all.

Now security keys I get; keep the private key on an airgapped device. That's good. Hell I even keep my 2FA-OTP salts on a YubiKey.

ICYMI: In the most recent OTMT podcast episode, @jaffathecake and I talk about putting React in the browser.

While that’s good clickbait, the episode is about about past and present platform proposals that aim to help frameworks with managing the DOM.
